Former U.S. President Ronald Reagan's son sits on the Board of that Freedom From Religion Foundation. It must not have been a pretty sight watching his father waste away with dementia.

Derpery derpery Derpaliffing von Derpendorff!

How about instead we use, "Stop being a <zederated> Richard!"

How about speaking English, and being direct? Say what you mean and mean what you say.

Actually, they ARE being direct; the "lost in translation" lies with you.

And I still say he's a sock puppet.

Well then, go ahead and say it. I am not privy to who Richard is, nor up to speed on what "zederated" means.

Are you spoiling for a fight, Goose? Do you really, really want a fight? Well, you aren't going to get it.

Stand down and move along.

No fighting on my part. Only self defense here. Self defense. If I don't stand up for moi même, who will?

Did you note the pirate flag? That's the sign here that a thread is being monitored. It indicates to everyone to calm down.

Thanks for the French, by the way. It made me smile.

BTW, what was it about my words (highlighted above) that sounded to you like I wanted a fight? I have since come to know what a "zederated Richard" is, and I take offense to anyone here ever making that kind of remark about me again. I trust that is clear and fully understood.

And as for French, why the secret code language? I mean, really, why not just come out and say "he's a f--king dick," for that is what it means, according to Skip. Using coded language is cowardly and deceitful. Not particularly Christian virtues, there, fellas.

I see you've chosen the "flame out" path. At least make it amusing, would you? The Internet tough guy routine has grown rather stale. We've seen it before. Show some style and make it memorable.

As a note-- zederated means that something was redacted. Sometimes we include it ourselves. Zed (is)/was a moderator and he'd put down <zederated> on some removed material. It's a CPS thing-- it has leaked out to facebook upon occasion.

It usually means something similar to what Pa Hillbilly Bear would say:

Out of control odd rare old man (or possibly an hobbyist). -- Label by The Big R.
The 6s of 1st John:
2:6 Whoever claims to live in him must walk as Jesus walked
3:6 No one who lives in him keeps on sinning

The House of Representatives can continue to open its sessions in prayer, a U.S. District Court ruled Wednesday.

The practice was challenged by Freedom From Religion Foundation Co-President Dan Barker last year after he was told he could not deliver a secular invocation. He sued U.S. House Chaplain Patrick Conroy for “violating his rights” under the Religious Freedom Restoration Act (RFRA) and the Constitution. The FFRF filed the lawsuit on the National Day of Prayer.
